Reviewers Didn't Like

  • The keyboard is a mess, The Clickpad has a vague feel, No extendedlife battery option, Soldered memory chips
  • New ThinkPad keyboard is awkward to use and will take time to get used to, battery life is less than impressive, adaptive keyboard is more cumbersome then helpful, no SD card slot
  • New keyboard design is dubious
  • Worstinclass battery life, No SD slot, Backspace key is shrunken and in a different place, Expensive; touchscreen doesn't come standard
  • Very high price, integrated touchpad mouse buttons, webcam quality is marginal, lacks true Fnkeys
  • New function bar adds unnecessary complexity to simple functions. New keyboard layout may not be to everyone's liking. Ethernet requires dongle. Short battery life
  • Even dropping the higher-resolution touch display doesn't bring the price down, and the otherwise excellent keyboard has a couple of head-scratching, and typo-inducing, changes to the standard layout
  • Expensive, Narrow viewing angles
  • Mid-pack battery life. Limited I/O ports. Ethernet requires dongle. Sealed battery
  • Shorter battery life than Windows 7 version; Some touchpad issues; WiFi adapter can be wonky
  • Tight viewing angles compared with IPS, CPU throttling during extreme load, Few interfaces, no docking port, High price
  • Stiff hinge makes the PC annoying to open, Webcam is a bit tragic
  • Only two USB ports, Subpar touchpad, Touchscreen means lower battery life, Viewing angles aren't as wide as we'd like
  • Gets really hot, Expensive, Too much bloatware
  • The touch screen makes the lid thicker, and the touch pad can be finicky at times
  • Stiff hinge makes the PC annoying to open, Webcam is a bit tragic
